Arnold, co-owner, Arnold’s Flower Shop.Without proms and graduations, sales are still expected to be tough.“Graduation and commencement and all of those things a lot of small businesses especially florists depend on those. Without having those open and operating there’s going to be a lot of small businesses that lose business because of that,” said Mosher-Arnold.Most flowers are flown internationally. Those flights aren’t happening right now.“Also just being able to get flowers alone, you have farms in South America who are having to throw them out in multiple trailer truckloads because there's nobody to buy them,” said Mosher-Arnold.With the flowers they do have, they’re delivering the joy of Easter. https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/news/2020/04/11/flower-shop-reopens-for-no-contact-home-deliveries
